DREADFUL! Leon was asked to sit in with these rookies, he agreed. They used him as a centerpiece as they warbled through the song. Dear Leon looked anxious to leave!
I've seen Leon in concert many times through the years and the blank look on his face told the story ... he was NOT having fun!
Hey you guys that think Leon was somehow perturbed or regretful, I've got a news flash for you. That's just him. His stage act has been nothing short of genius thru the years and the man is cool as a cucumber . His passion is in his fingers and throat. He's been providing kick ass rock and roll, country , and Tulsa for 60 years. About god damn time the world appreciates him.
Leon Russell is a fan of Hanson. He appreciates that despite their pop star icon status they know old time rock and roll. Leon is no musical snob playing with the likes of Doris Day and Frank Sinatra, to George Harrison, Delaney & Bonnie and Bob Dylan. He supported Elton John on his first tour of the U.S., as everyone now knows with their new collaboration "The Union". Hanson were more musical then a lot of other groups out with them at their height of fame. If they dig Leon, I dig them! LOL
These nitwits had the opportunity to showcase one of the great musicians of our time and they totally hogged the spotlight. They never once turned any part of the song over to him. Sadly, Leon was doing this song long before these nitwits were even born. I'm a lesser person for having seen this video.
4 all of u guys who r saying hanson sucks and that leon looked like he didnt want 2 b there. let me tell u that hanson does not suck. the reason y they sounded bad was b/c they had their earmonitors n their ears. almost every artist sounds bad w/ their earmonitors on. dont criticize them until uve heard their non live stuff.
@omeletpants, how do you know that's what he said? Where you there? He's in his 70's and he's probably tired or had to go take a leak and wanted off the stage quickly.
First of all legit or not, I like the Spice Girls. They were fun and their reunion tour was a blast so hush you and before some joke is made, I am 23. Second of all, Hanson is a cute band and they aren't bad musicians. Not to mention they are really nice guys. The reason Leon Russell "got stuck" with them is because he knows them and wanted to jam with Hanson. Hanson has gotten together with Leon multiple times just to have fun in the studio.
@mummyboyz im sorry but leon really enjoys playing w/ them. they really respect him b/c w/o him they probally wouldnt b here. they have played w/ him several times. they played here w/ him twice and played w/ him at mayfest on may 20, 2005. my aunt and my cousin were there and they said they really enjoyed it. my cousin thought hanson was hot. they own there own record label, help mothers and kids living in proverty or w/ HIV/AIDS in South Africa get help.
Ease up on Hanson. Its not like they are a manufactured band like The Spice Girls were. They formed a band the old fashioned way & they really play their own instruments. They are also holding their own here with a master, Leon Russell.
I'm not really a fan of Hanson but I must say aside from the little lyric blunder, they sounded pretty good. I hate to admit it but they did a pretty kickass job. That one guy can really play the piano. Hey when their good their good!!!
Leon was awesome prior to Hanson coming on, he's contributed a TON to the musical community (heck, look at the resume! The QT program was enough.). Hanson had to recognize him as such (considering what songs inspired them as kids). No need to insult either Leon or Hanson. Don't believe they deserve praise in the musical community? Do your research (thoroughly) and you'll see.
why on earth would anyone want to have Leon on stage then try to play piano just like him, why not let leon sing....these idiots suck worse than words can express
Absolutely. I feel so bummed that the kidlets in the audience are probably thinking "Who is that old dude??" Not realising he the coolest cat they will probably ever witness in their lives.
These two idiots suck, with all of the greatness Leon has played with he looks like he wondering how in the hell these lugnuts call themselves musicians
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
It's kind of funny because he does look like that's what he's thinking -- but er, I am pretty sure if that were the truth of it he wouldn't have played with them; if he is the respected man you say he is, you would trust his judgement.
@tulsaboyz2000, that's not nice. Leon Russell played piano and arranged songs for all the bubblegum bands back in the 50's & 60's, example is Gary Lewis and the Playboys. Some might consider that group in the same league as Hanson. While not a Hanson fan, they are talented, so I'm sure Leon was probably glad to be back performing & didn't care with whom.Plus, he's probably in his 70's. He's probably lost his pep.
i had just moved back here and heard hanson was gonna be playin that night..like i was gonna go see hanson..had i known leon was showin i would have run down there!
